Finally! An engaging narrative history of the reptiles that once ruled the earth. Part epic scientific history, part real-life Indiana Jones memoir of globe-trotting fossil hunting with all its cultural and political pitfalls, this is a must-have for anyone with an interest in paleontology!
A highly evocative and poetic novella that speaks to the burdens of history. In sinuous and lyrical prose, an unnamed narrator reflects on the woods outside the small German town where he grew up, later focusing on an old rendering plant. I'll admit it, this book has almost no plot and yet it's my favorite book of the year because it's so beautifully written, so transportive. It begs to be read aloud.I lost myself inside this book, in its ineffable sense of nature and the dense, unsettling prose. A small universe sits within its one hundred brief pages.
Any road trip I've ever been on, I stare out my window for hours noticing the natural elements around me: trees, cactus, wildflowers blowing in the breeze. I zone everything out around me and focus on the huge natural world around us. That's what I love most about BRAIDING SWEETGRASS. It makes the reader notice nature and begin to ask questions about where we fit into the natural world and what that relationship can look like.
A postmodern fairytale, dark and enchanting in its simplicity. Set in a crumbling cultural period, this book shows a child’s perspective of an idyllic life during a tumultuous moment in history. Each vignette is an exploration of family, identity, and the loss of innocence.

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people –– the beauty within themselves.
